A truly perfect movie, the 1942 Casablanca still wows viewers today, and for good reason. Its unique story of a love triangle set against terribly high stakes in the war against a monster is sophisticated instead of outlandish, intriguing instead of garish. Humphrey Bogart plays the allegedly apolitical club owner in unoccupied French territory that is nevertheless crawling with Nazis; Ingrid Bergman is the lover who mysteriously deserted him in Paris; and Paul Heinreid is her heroic, slightly bewildered husband. Claude Rains, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, and Conrad Veidt are among what may be the best supporting cast in the history of Hollywood films. This is certainly among the most spirited and ennobling movies ever made. --Tom Keogh

Ilsa offers herself in exchange for Laszlo's transport out of the country and bitter Rick must decide what counts more - personal happiness or countless lives hanging in the balance. Winner of three Academy Awards including Best Picture Casablanca marks 60 years as a beloved favorite with a new digital transfer and so many bonuses that no matter how often you've seen it this Deluxe 2-Disc DVD looks like yet another beginning of a beautiful friendship with an unforgettable classic.Running Time: 102 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA UPC: 012569568129 Manufacturer No: 65681

 White House? Colorless Courtroom Drama! July 4, 2009
neotroglodyte (desert southwest)
With all the endless clever gesticulations and articulations, this 'romance', with the chemical charm of a beaker clinking against a graduated cylinder and the intrigue of dated litmus-paper, should have been set in a chemistry lab (or courtroom), not a Nazi-infested den of iniquity.
As for the principals...Bogart has the same demeanor he had in Treasure of the Sierra Madre, African Queen, Maltese Falcon, etc., except dressed like a penguin without the charisma of any known Spheniscidae.
Bergman was always Bergman. Beautiful, but what did she see in him?
Claude Rains and Peter Lorre were always good as Rains and Lorre.
Another assault on the terms 'classic' and 'masterpiece'. Watch it objectively...
 Great movie, no subtitles June 28, 2009
Miguel Murillo Cordero (Alajuela, Costa Rica)
I bought this so I can watch this classic along with my family (they don't speak English), but when I got I found it did not have subtitles, still I kept it for myself!
Simply the best movie I've ever seen June 21, 2009
mashny (New York)
There's nothing I can add to the reviews here other than to say I've seen "Casablanca" at least forty times. If all goes according to plan, I'll see it at least another forty times before I fade to black.
thanks!!!! June 13, 2009

Casablanca Best Movie Ever June 10, 2009
S. Portelance (Haverhill, MA)
I've watched and re-watched this movie at least 25 times. Bogart and Bergman were the a perfect couple that were not meant to be, making this deeply political film portrayed in a love story set in Casablanca truly amazing, beautiful, wonderful. Has to be watched in the black and white version to get the full effect. AAA+ 5 stars, highly recommended.
